Brits are ditching purebreed dogs in favour of designer crossbreeds
79% Informative
The Kennel Club analysed over 11 million dog registrations and found that the number of pedigree pooches in Britain has shrunk by around 0.9 per cent every year since 1990 .
Yorkshire Terrier has seen the most dramatic decline, with its population shrinking by 16 per cent from one year to the next every year .
This could be due to the ballooning popularity of mixed breeds like the Cockapoo and Labradoodle .
The decline is so rapid that it could cause serious trouble for breeding dogs in the UK .
Ireland exported 11,577 dogs to the UK between 1990 and 2021 .
Russia exported 4,396 dogs, and Poland exported 3,905 dogs.
This means the few pedigree dogs being bred in the UK still face the problem of rapidly reducing genetic diversity.
Researchers hope their study will help breeders develop strategies for preserving the fastest-declining breeds.
